[jira] [Created] (HDFS-6134) Transparent data at rest encryption

Alejandro Abdelnur created HDFS-6134:
----------------------------------------

             Summary: Transparent data at rest encryption
                 Key: HDFS-6134
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-6134
             Project: Hadoop HDFS
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: security
    Affects Versions: 2.3.0
            Reporter: Alejandro Abdelnur
            Assignee: Alejandro Abdelnur


Because of privacy and security regulations, for many industries, sensitive data at rest must be in encrypted form. For example: the healthcare industry (HIPAA regulations), the card payment industry (PCI DSS regulations) or the US government (FISMA regulations).

This JIRA aims to provide a mechanism to encrypt HDFS data at rest that can be used transparently by any application accessing HDFS via Hadoop Filesystem Java API, Hadoop libhdfs C library, or WebHDFS REST API.

The resulting implementation should be able to be used in compliance with different regulation requirements.
